that's strange that it's happening with the latest update as this was one of the faults that was rectified with v4.03

[spl23]

I've seen this happen a couple of times with 5.06 on my DV137.

[killer10971]

seems to happen after the films been running a while , if you put a disc in let it start then stop it no problems , im letting a disc play through to test this theory

anyone got the old firmware 4.08 or 4.12 which ever came before the 5.xx

I have 5.05, 4.12 and 4.03. Just tell me what you want.

cheers mate but i have found v4.12 on my pc ,i did the firmware update again (v5.06) and i just let a disc play through and it was fine , im having a film evening so ill see what happens tonight if i have any problems ill go back to v4.12

i would of thought more dv139/137 owners would have this

hi there!
i've just put on U2 live in boston dvd,pressed stop and picture paused.
i watched the same dvd last night with no problem.
upgraded to V5.06 earlier tonight so it looks like it's a fault with with the upgrade.

[killer10971]

[killer10971]

I travel allot and I did the update 2 weeks ago when it came out and then left for California an hour later. I have no idea what it did to the player other than that my DV137 still works and my wife has not bitten my head off for breaking the DVD player before I left. She has watched a few movies and has not reported any major issues. I will do more testing when I get back next week.

I've updated about 2 dozen DV137s and DV139s for customers and the two 139s that I own myself. One of the after-upgrade tests I do is to play a DVD-R that has test material on it as well as some general video in 4:3 and 16:9 just to test everything out.

Every player I upgraded played these DVD-Rs just fine....and I've had no complaints from customers one of whom plays almost nothing BUT DVD-R...

Crusty gets his software files and .ISO files from the same place I get mine: the Arcam Dealer Extranet so yes, they are the same files....

All my firmware files are sourced from the Arcam Dealer Extranet site are therefore no different to any disc supplied by Arcam.
